Unova Pokemon Debuts

Well, it's about time that I sprung this idea. I remember there being a Remaining Sinnoh Pokemon to Debut thread a while back, so I figured, why not make one for Unova? Mods, if you think this should be shut down or at least postponed, just close it. But for now, I'll start up the lists. Also, here's a list of what can be counted as a Pokemon's debut:

What Counts as a Debut

1. A physical appearance of the Pokemon. (Ex. Snivy in BW001)

2. A flashback featuring the Pokemon. (Ex. Drilbur in BW036)

3. A fantasy featuring the Pokemon. (Ex. Haxorus in BW006)

4. A photograph/poster featuring the Pokemon. (Ex. Liepard in BW056)

What Doesn't Count as a Debut

1. A stone statue or similar object made in the likeness of the Pokemon. (Ex. Dialga in DP036)

2. A clothing article, toy, or other merchandise-oriented likeness of the Pokemon. (Ex. Cryogonal in BW059)

I can't believe how many new pkmn are this region...that list is very long.Also,u forgot Chillarmy.It didn't have an official debut but it appeared in BW001 or 2>.>in the background with an kid...I don't remember it that well so I might be talking crap

Just so people know which Pokemon will appear before the opening changes, I made a list of all the new Pokemon in the opening WITH screenshots... May I point out the lack of Pokemon such as Yooterii/Evolutions and Mirruhoggu, meaning Dento doesnt have one of the puppies on his team when he joins the group and Ash will not face Gym 2 until AFTER the opening changes.

I got a better idea, why don't you only include the episodes that have aired, just to be safe. So the elemental monkeys, the Hihidaruma family, Munna & Musharna, the moth havent debuted yet, just to avoid the confusion and errors.

GalladeRocks, looks like you'll have to make some changes. Fushide will not appear in BW009, as BW009's previous title was fake. Same goes for Meraruba. Pendoraa will debut in BW009 instead and Pururiru will debut in BW010. New threads were posted with accurate information, so hopefully you change that on the first post

Okay, I've removed Munna, Musharna, and Tabunne from the list. I'll also take off Onondo and Ononokusu for now, but if you guys think I should leave them on since they were only dreams in the episode, then I'll put them back on.

Pokemon that had extremely small roles so far will no doubt get episodes to themselves. A Shikijika episode out it's season changes, an episode about an uber alert Minezumi, and a Pokemon Center episode about Tabunne.

They're supposed to have a rivalry like Zangoose and Seviper so how about Jessie catching the bug one and Dent/o catching the anteater one and they duke it out every episode.

The relationship isn't the same. Seviper and Zangoose can have a fair fight while Ainto gets roasted by the anteater. Not really fair. I think their relationship is somewhat of a new kind. (Predator and Prey). There not even version exclusive

Can I just ask, even tho, like KibaLG8 said, it was only a dream, the showing of Ononokusu mean that it will now be coloured in the opening?

I watched this week's Opening theme. Onondo and Ononokusu are no longer in shadow and are in full color now, which is great in my opinion. So I think we did well in removing them from the list of Pokemon to debut in the anime, since the anime staff themselves believe they have debuted. We should use the Opening theme from now on, since it's more accurate

But it is said they have a rivalry or something.
